recipes I've tried this week

Isabella had a check-up at the doctor's early this week - looks like she is going to hit 5'10". Good grief. I am just under 5'7" so it won't be long before she is taller than me...soon enough, she will be wearing my size 8.5 shoes. I am recovering from a wicked flu. Hit me like a ton of bricks and caused me to take a few days off work. Hopefully Pablo and the kids don't catch it.

Despite being sicko, I managed to cook some decent meals this week starting with slow-cooker carne guisada. YUM-O. Isabella really loved this one.

Needed a pasta fix so I made this spicy sausage pasta. I made it with mild Italian sausages instead of smoked sausages and it was really good. The whole family liked it, even Isabella, who hates pasta.

Last but not least, I made an easy baked crunchy taco casserole. The crunchy taco shells were a nice change from all the flour tortillas I cook with. Forgot to spray the dish before they went in the oven. They stuck and it was messy but still a hit.

Here it's actually quite mild - around 14C and 50/50 sun and rain. As some of my patients are staying in barns - I still enjoy this weather while driving to the country. I would give it max 10 days more and it will surely get more chilly. The wind is getting stronger as well..

Oh Julia, why weren't we born on Bahamas?!

Thank you for all the sweet words. I'll keep that in mind:-*
